The day is done.
Under the Empyean Sky — a book that took me two months to write and another year to edit — is now out and in the world. And it’s doing very well, as I understand —
And that is thanks to you.
So, thanks.
High-five each and every one of you.
Writing books is weird. Getting ’em published is even weirder.
So it’s nice to have readers to join me on this really weird journey.
I’ll politely note that the book remains on sale at Amazon ($3.99 for Kindle, under $11 for hardcover). Regardless, I appreciate you checking this book out and telling folks and I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU ALL AND RUB MY BEARD MUSK UPON YOUR BROW. Ahem.
Carol McKenzie says:
You’re so freaking awesome. I’m in awe…not necessarily with the offer of the hug and stuff…but for all the other reasons I read your books and your blog and your tweets. Keep being you in all your splendor and weirdness and profanity. You rock. Seriously.

ETA: you must be having an odd-ball day; your posts usually don’t appear for at least another two plus hours.

“I just want to hug you and rub my beard-musk upon your brow” is now my favorite expression of gratitude and affection. Gratifection?

Two months. That’s truly amazing – and a testament to what happens when you MAKE yourself sit down and WRITE.

Congratulations. I doff my hat to you. But please keep your beard musk to yourself.

I can’t wait to get my copy from my usual local (kind of, Albuquerque is 150 miles away!) Indie bookstore! But I’ve heard it’s purty dayum good. ;o)
